The varsity men were divided into
two teams during the Saturday prac

quarterback. The Newman eleven in

Wade Muun and Young at guards
Monte Munn at center, Schellenberg

and Captain Paul Dobson at fullback
VrPRhmpn numbering twenty have
been working out Friday and Salur
day. Twelve were lined up as line
men. This number is expected to in
crease greatly. So far there has been
no scrimmage but the varsity and
yearlings will be given a chance to
take a crack at each other this reck.
Coach Schulte Talks.
The Nebraska head coach was
quoted by the Kansas City Star thru
a local correspondent as -saying:
"WTien I was coaching at Missouri it
rather puzzled me to see Cornhusaors
win the valley conference champion
ship practically every year. Occa
sionally another team might yank
them oft their perch, but generally
Nebraska would finish at the top of
the heap. Now I understand the
situation.
"The answer is that Nebraska
teams have a superiority in beef and
muscle. They grow them big and
husky up here in Nebraska and that's
the reason at least a prime factor
for Nebraska's persistent football
successes."
"Speed and brains, mixed with the
football instinct are worth a lot in
football, and a little team sometimes
can trim a big one, but the good big
team nine times in ten, can whip the
little one."
"Down in Missouri, where I coached
several seasons, my normal team av
eraged 160 to 170 pounds. Just take
a look at that layout of varsity candi
dates," continued Schulte, aa he
pointed to the Huskers who will
fight for positions on this year's Ne
braska eleven. "I can see, right now,
where I ought to be able to pick a
first team of fine quality and caliber
that will average not less than 185
pounds. I shall not predict how mmy
ganres we ought to win, but I will
confess that we ought to develope a
real drive and scoring punch with
that beef, and gratify the expect': lion
of Cornhusker followers by turning
out an eleven that should win a good
share f its games."
Will Have Heavy Team.
Nebraska will have a heavy team.
No one doubts that it will have a team
of better calibre than usual under the
tutoring of its new coach and his .staff
of able assistants. But, to prick the
beautiful bubble of some hilarious
Cornbusker's flamboyant prophecies,
let it be remembered tht every
team on the Scarlet and Crean sched
ule also has a gridiron of more than
average Btrength this season. The
Tiger squad which Coach Schulte
said In the above quotation had al
ways been light, Is ten or fifteen
pounds per man heavier than usual.
Yea bo, this is going to be an inter
esting season to follow.

Taught Here a Year After Seven
Years' leave of Ab
sence in Research
Prof. Charles William Wallace, of
t ho English department of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who has been
absent from his work here for a year,
returns a millionaire. Professor Wal
lace is one of the best known authori
ties on Shakespeare and perhaps the
greatest in the world for many years.
For seven years, 1909 to 1916, he was
in Europe on an extended leave of
absence for research work on Shakes
peare, examining some 5,000,000 his
torical documents and bits of inter
esting information about the great
cellor has now held the office or the
leader of the university for ten years
and every year with the exception of
last when he was in war service he
has delivered an opening address.
On the 25th, Dean P. B. Buck of the
college of arts and sciences will speak
on his own college which he calls
the "mother of them all."
Beginning with September 30th,
when the first musical program will
be given, every Tuesday is to be apart
for a musical program. Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond is arranging to present
some overtures with the aid of a
string quartet on that date. Sym
phony and folk song programs will
be held from time to time. An inter
esting features of the fall convoca
tions will be the appearance of ac
credited teachers on different occa
sions. The Thanksgiving program will in
clude Percy Fletcher's Song of Vic
tory. This attractive composition
was used at the last meeting ot tne
national asociation of music super
visors in St. Louis when it provokea
great enthusiasm. Mrs. Raymond an
nounces that at some time during the
fall Verdi's requiem will be produced
in memory of the soldiers who died in
service. This famous composition is
being thus employed all over the
country.

playwright. When his alloted leave
had expired, he expressed the deshe
that he be granted a special leave to
make money for continuation of his
work. An extra year was given him
and he proved that the time was well
spent, by bringing back a cold mil
lion made in the Burkburnett oil field
at Wichita Falls, Texas.
"If I fail, he is quoted as saying.
"I'll return to the university. If I
succeed I'll return to Europe at my
own expense, and give 20 per cent of
the money I make to maintain my
successor." The professor went at
his venture with a will and won.
How He Did It.
Williams Slavens McNutt in his
article in Collier's on "The New Oil
Millionaires," writes as follows about
a famous professor whom friends of
his declare is Prof. Wallace:
"A man whose name I do not feel
at liberty to mention sent word that
he wanted to see me. I knew him by
reputation and wondered what such
a man could be doing in the oil
fields. He is a professor of an
American university and recognized
as the world's greatest authority on
his particular specialty in English
literature. He has spent most or his
life in research work abroad. I found
him at a desk in a crowded oil office
in Wichita Falls. He was as strange
in that place and atmosphere as a
submarine in Denver. For an' hour
he talked of museums and the people
who make and maintain them; of
rare editions and of age-withered
documents bearing upon his specialty,
many thousands of which by the
way, he has examined during the
course of his labor abroad. During
the years of his research work in
Europe he had spent not only what
the university paid him, but his en
tire small personal fortune as well.
About a year ago he came home. The
time allotted him by his university
had expired. His work was not com
pleted. There was no money avail
able with which he might return to
Europe and carry it to completion.
"Give me a year's leave of ab
sense," said the man of rare edi
tions and musty documents, "and I'll
make the money. If I fail I will re
turn and take up my duties at the
i' Diversity, and if I succeed I'll not
only return to Europe at my own
expense and complete my work, but
I will give 20 per cent of the money
I make as a fund for the mainten
ance of my successor."

FRATERNITIES PLEDGE LARGEST
NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN HISTORY
Greeks End Spirited Rushing Sea
son With More Than 300
New Members Pledged
Fantasia of Parties Ends in Burst
of Pledge Buttons
and Ribbons.
One hundred and sixty four pledges
were announced Saturday evening by
the womens fraternities and as many
by the mens fraternities. This unusu
ally -ge number is attributed chief
1' l Increased registration In the
university this fall and the renewed
strength of many of the men's chap
ters since the end of the war.
The men's fraternity rushing
started Monday, and continued thru
out the week. The women's frater
nity rushing did not start until Wed
nesday and altho restricted by the
many and rigid rules of the Pan
Hellenic association, it was no less
strenuous than that of the men.
The week was a fantasia of naie
boohr,, telephone calls, automobiles,
and company manners, which ended
in a burst of pledge buttons and
ribbons.
The invitations to membership in
university sororities were delivered
Saturday afternoon by a motor corps
organized for the purpose by Miss
Marguerite McPhee, chairman
of
Pan-hellenic council. There were fou
cars in he service.
Miss Helen Curtice took with her
in her car Miss McPhee and Miss
Rachael Trester. Miss Gladys Wilkin
son was accompanied by Mrs. D. F.
Easterday and Miss Lorene Hen
dricks and Miss Genevieve Loeb
i : t--.i : x t ... .- ..;,v, Via,
Miss Alice Sedgwick and Miss Louise
Pound. Miss Eve Gibbens was ac
companied by Miss Mabel McAdam
and Miss Winifred Hyde. All invi
tations were delivered without ncci
dent and it is the opinion of the Pan
hellenic association that the motor
corps system of delivery worked to
perfection.
A member of the council comment
ed on the number of attractive girls
in school and regretted that the lim
ited rushing period made it impos
sible for them to meet all thai :iej
might have liked to invite to Mem
bership.
